The FA Cup Final, frequently referred to as just the ‘Cup Final’ in England, is the last match of the Football Association Challenge Cup. The Cup has been around since season 1871, where Wanderers won over Royal Engineers which was held at Kennington Oval with 2,000 spectators. (see winners list)

The FA Cup is a culmination between teams belonging to the Football Association in England.

Scottish and Irish teams competed in the early years. Welsh teams frequently take part in the competition. A team from Wales won the 1927 Cup and reached the final in 2008.

From the beginning of the Cup until 1993, when a match finished in a draw, they would replay the match up to a total of six times. In 1993, the Football Association then decided that future finals will be decided on the spot, on that day, putting the Cup Final replays to an end. A draw at the end of normal time will be followed by two 15-minute extra times. If the scores are still on the same level, a penalty shootout settles which team will be victors of the Cup Final.

It was first held for the 1955-56 season, and up until 1992 the tournament was called the European Cup or European Champions’ Cup (officially European Champion Clubs’ Cup). See more soccer lists.

The 2013-14 final was the first in the tournament’s history to feature teams from the same city. The same two clubs faced each other again in the 2016 final. In 2000, two Spanish teams battled in the final, though they were from different cities.

Here are all the winners of the UEFA Champions League since the first in 1955. Real Madrid hold the record for the most victories, having won the competition 13 times, including the inaugural competition in 1956.

It was founded in 1957, sanctioned by the Confederation of African Football or CAF. It has been held every 2 years since 1968. Back then, there were only three participating countries—Sudan, Ethiopia and Egypt. South Africa was supposed to compete but were disqualified due to apartheid policies of their government. The first tournament was won by Egypt.

In 1992, the final tournament participants were expanded to 12. Teams were divided into four groups of three, with the top two teams going to the quarter-finals.

In 1996, South Africa hosted the 20th Africa Cup of Nations after their long ban was lifted due to their country’s apartheid. Participants were expanded to 16, into four groups.

In the cup’s history, Egypt has been the most successful. They have won 7 times, including their famous match against United Arab Republic from 1958 to 1971. Ghana won 4 titles, also Cameroon.

The 2015 event was scheduled to be held in Morocco, but they withdraw as host of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations because of fears it would lead to a further spread of the Ebola virus. The host country became Equatorial Guinea.
